And how long do you usually keep them? I normally only have one wallet and one purse at any given time. The last wallet I had was YEARS old. I don't even remember what YEAR I bought it in LOL, but I know I haven't bought one in several years. Sure it was faded and ugly, but it didn't have any rips or tears in ion so I just kept on using it. Finally I bit the bullet, so to speak, and got a brand new one from Target. Darn thing cost me 14 dollars, but as it was Mother's Day I figured I'd splurge money on myself! LOL As far as purses go, I usually have to get one every year or so as they wear out so quickly. :P So what about you? How many purses (handbags) and/ or wallets do you have? Please share your thoughts.

i have only one wallet now and this is my fourth wallet until now. thats right, its my fourth wallet because i just started using it few years back. my last three wallets were torn off so because of that i am using new ones. from these four i like the first wallet which looks very cool and kept it safely.

i have one purse and one wallet. i used to used my purse because when i rraveling i need coins to be used in paying the transportations that i used to ride. i only using my wallet whenever i'm going mall ahd have my shopping. the advantage of having a waller in your packet is you can organize you paper money as well as your identification catds, credit and atm cards... i have a favorite wallet which i used for more than a years from 2003 up to now i'm still using it. this wallet brand is Benetton because i like its design and its durabity. if you pref ably used a lot of coin everytime coin purse is the solution for you...

I still have the same wallet I had twelve years ago, recently I noticed a slight hole forming in the corner so I thought it would be time to buy a new one. But nothing compares to the one I have.

I have a lot of purses. If I had to give a number I would say about 15. I use them, I change my purse often for different reasons, what Im wearing or what Im doing. As for wallets. I have a lot of them but I really only use one of them. My husband bought me a wallet for our aniversary last year and had it engraved. "to my love happy anniversary" I have used it ever since. I just can't see using a different one. It was such a cool present too. he wrote in the card about how we many not always have money to fill this wallet but we will always have love. awww how sweet. anyway i think he did it so i would stop changing wallets lol.

I'm not really a wallet person. LOL. I could not remember the last time I bought a new wallet at all. As for handbags, yeah , I like those things better. I got quite a collection of those nice bags in my closet. I like big functional bags where I can cram all my stuff in.

Oh my goodness, I don't think I will be able to tell you the exact number of purses I have. I mean I have a lot...no, huge collection. I am a big fan of purses. I like to match my purse with the clothes I'm wearing. I am currently using one of my favorite wallet. I don't like to change my wallet constantly. Sometimes, it will be many months before I decided to change it to another one.

I have one purse I carry occasionally and my check book that goes everywhere with me. I have a nasty habit of sitting my purse down on shelves while I am looking at things in the stores. LIVE IN PEACE

A cute purse - A pink and green purse
Right now I have four purses and two wallets. I have to have a purse that match every outfit. I have my eyes on another Dooney purse. I'm going to have to treat myself to that purse soon. All of my purses are still in good shape. I've had three of them for about three years now. I've had my Dooney for only three months now. I love the colorful purses or beach bags that they sell in the stores.

Years ago, before I had my children, I used to have tons of purses in all shapes, sizes and colors. Well, I'll tell you I learned to quickly adapt to not having so many purses, and now just try to have a few in neutral colors so they'll go with everything, and I make sure they're leather so they're durable and last a while. As far as wallets go, it drives me nuts to have to pick out a new wallet. It seems so hard to find one that has everything you need, like enough card slots, change holder, picture/business card sleeves, and a place for cash, so I'll hunt forever to find one that has all the features I want plus is neutral enough to go with each purse. Once I find the right ones though, they usually last for years.

That's one of the reasons why I kept my old wallet for so long as it is very hard to find the perfect wallet. Amazingly the one I found at Target is very similar to my old wallet, other than the color. And it has all the features you mentioned. I don't like to buy a wallet if it is lacking any of these things and I would rather hold off on getting a new one until that perfect wallet can be found. Even if that means using the same one when it is all worn out.

I only have one for the meantime and it's already 2 years old. He he. It has a sentimental value for me that's why I can't replace it yet no matter how tempted I am to buy one. I'd only replace it if it can't hold a few coins anymore or if it's already completely torn.

Hi sacmom, though I have many wallets, I use the same one all the time. I just keep the others in the closet. The current one which I have being using for years is black in color. I bought this leather wallet during a sale with a lower price and the quality is good as well. Its color not even fades but becomes more shining.

i have 3 wallets, in different sizes, for the size purse i carry at the time. I have oddles of purses, they are hung over a hanger in the closet and when I tire of one I try another for a while. I love to go to the thrift stores and Goodwill just to look, to me it is same as going to a yard sale. and they have some nice purses, some leather and some big brand names there for practally nothing. My daughter got a gucci (might not be spelled right) there for $2. I like purses with lots of pockets to put each thing, I don't like reaching in and searching for something that is on the bottom and you bring out everything in the purse before finding it, an I like ones with a shoulder strap. hate carrying a purse in my hand.

I only have one purse at the moment. I keep my purse until it starts to rip or look run down, then I get a new one.
